Week 26…
Thank gods it’s halfway over. Thank god I still have six months to go. As illogical as it seems, there are reasons behind this seemingly conflicting statement. This week I’m closing out week #26 of this consulting gig. The one that has me flying across country, the one that keeps me from my kids. Originally [...]
Six days does not a week make…
My favorite quotes, from one of my favorite movies (“Barefoot in the park” -Robert Redford, Jane Fonda, 1967, though I first saw it as a TV stage production starring Bess Armstrong and Richard Thomas in 1981) (I’m writing this from Seat 1A of AirTran flight 749 to Baltimore, which is just *WAY* too cool for words.
